The opening ten minutes is amazing though. Probably one of the best openings to a film I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hide contents --The failings of our national health care system --A look at the LGBT community and being non-binary in terms of gender --the stifling unwritten rules of capitalism --the power dynamics of men and women --sexism, racism, and homophobia within politics, appearing subtly --a satire of how parents can treat their kids like garbage or put them on a pedestal and unknowingly put a great deal of pressure on them --the failings of our educational system --an unflinching look at sexual assault on college campuses It seems like everybody is releasing a film with a LGBT storyline in Y2. I love it but dammit that is my thing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote down a shot-by-shot recreation of the opening scene with James Newton Howard set to re-score it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Forecasted totals for my Y1 slate: Best Friends Forever - $35m Seeing Her - $125m A Love To Die For - $105m Blood and Fur - $80m Me and My Shadow - $230m The Provider of course isn't out yet, and I'll need to see August numbers before I can get a clearer picture of Spark's late legs. Hopefully it can be another Homecoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 @Alpha may have a conflict of interest on this, but I hope Flowers for Algernon becomes a mega-breakout and challenges $200m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) 14 minutes ago, Hiccup23 said: Whats the multiplier for figuring out the final domestic totals? The weekly formula I use is weekend gross times 1.2-1.3 during regular weekdays and 1.4-1.5 during summer (second week of June until mid-August), exactly what number I use depends heavily on the movie (films geared towards young audiences tend to have weaker weekdays outside of summer). Then I just keep adding each week until the movie falls out of the top 10 and I do a rough estimate on the rest of the run based on its past trajectory with accounting for dollar theater expansions and possible studio fudging.
